Project Myst

[Alcaknight]

Adzy i thought we were making a collab
to me that seems to be the most efficient
way to get something on this kind of scale done
and i think were going to have a storyboard and such
all though that pass my flash was awesome

Yeah, I think we are going to do a game collaboration. You can either do it alone, or with a small group. Each group would make one level, and they must be in accordance to eachother. You have your own character, and then they meet up in the end. That would be when the movie starts, with everybody animating their own character.

On the site i will make a team up page and after you decide on the forum that you want to be in a team then submit it there and it will be posted!

@alcaknight
we are making either game or movie most of us however do not know enough AS to make a game
you can make a game that would be a part of this but i dont know that theres many people making one
most of us are animators not programmers so majority is going to be animations but as i said as long as your
game follows the theme and such then it will be accepted!

Ah, I thought this was going to be a game.  We should try and get some coders from the Newground's forum. I will set up a topic there right now.

Here is the Link to the Newgrounds.

The whole point of this collaboration is to attract more members and to practice working together as a community.

For my segment, I'm planning on just animating.  I have minimal experience with AS, so I'm sticking to animating.

We should leave team acceptances to PMs in order to establish teams.  But since we have limited coders I would suggest this to be a collaborative animation project.

That is what i meant sorry for any confusion
i was just saying that when a team has been decided i will put it on the site.

Alright, I will hopefully be making a part for this. I am not for sure yet, because my Flash access is limited. But I will be able to start animating alot sometime around the 20th of August. I am with brettamatowski for the animation collaboration. (What I mean by this is that my part, if I have time to do it, will be mostly animation unless I can get a coder.)

Well, ny1 want to team up with me to make a platformer? It will depend on whether we get many more coders, since if we get a load of AS2 coders, there is no point sticking using AS3, and vice versa. Right now, it could go either way (I think were at 1 AS3 and 1 AS2 XD). Anyway, if anyone wants to set up a possable team, pm me or post here . As mentioned earlier, all my exams finish on the 11th, so i will be free to start after then. One more thing, I am not sure how much permission we would need to use a brackenwood theme. I think it will depend on whether we get permission from Adam to use it, although i think there might be a chance he will accept it since it is hopefully going to benefit the forum.

that is something I have thought about too i was going to pm him but i figured he probably gets loads of pms and wouldnt get to see it if anyone knows of a really good way too reach him please do it so that we may ask permission

I'll pm him. I have pm'ed him a couple of times, and he has responded to each one.

[adzy-2k6]

I PMed him a while ago about the trailer competition and got a quite quick reply. When you think about it, the forums are small and only members can PM each other, so very few people will actually PM him. Anyway, i will ask to see if he is happy to use brackenwood as a theme.

edit: Looks like Alcaknight has got here first, so ill let him PM him. He might even give a few suggestions as to what to base it on

I already did.  But send him another anyways.

To clear up a little more confusion about settings:

• fps = 24
• document size (animation) width = 660px, height = 500px
• length (animation) = under 3 minutes
• (if given permission by Adam himself) No one can have the same area to introduce their new character so that there is a wide variety of Brackenwood

If there are any objections, since this is a community project and no one has strict authority, please state by posting.

I think that I am going to use the actual Bitey Castle. And my character... is a surprise. If I make it.... 

When will be the due date, anyways? I think it should be sometime in November to December.

no objections here plain and simple, should make it easy for everyone!

I agree about having a pretty late due date
this will be my first take at a more than 30 sec animation
so i will need a bit of time

Also, keep game submissions to 2-3 short levels. There will likely be quite a few parts to this, and we dont want people to send 2 or three hours playing through a game and looking over other peices. I might make a quick image later of a rough menu layout, which will hopefully explain my idea a little clearer. And remember, it can be a good idea to make open source components since this is a community project.
